Abstract: Apparatus for battery (64) equalization includes a power supply unit
(61,62); an electrical parameter measuring unit (76), a switching unit (86), and a control
unit (80). The power supply unit delivers an equalizing signal to the switching unit
which is connected intermediate the power supply unit and the battery (64) to control
delivery of the equalizing signal to the battery. The switching unit is configured to
operate in a plurality of states. The switching unit delivers the equalizing signal to the
battery at a first signal level when the switching unit is in a first state, and delivers the
equalizing signal to the battery at a second signal level when the switching unit is in a
second state. The electrical parameter measuring unit is connected to measure an
electrical parameter associated with the battery. The control unit is connected with the
electrical parameter measuring unit and with the switching unit. The control unit
controls the state of the switching unit according to the value of the electrical parameter.
A method for effecting battery equalization comprises the steps of connecting the
battery with the apparatus with the switching unit configured to operate in the first state;
the switching unit is arranged to present a high impedance path in the first state, and to
present a low impedance path in the second state. The control unit is operated to change
the state of the switching unit to the second state when the electrical parameter is at a
predetermined value.

Abstract: A method and system for processing one or more TDMs for communication over IP
networks, such as the Internet, includes encapsulating ATM cells (packets) using AAL1 cells
within UDP over IP frames to provide synchronous bit streams into fixed size cells. This allows
for an IP header to be added to the packets, with such packets forwarded to its destination host
across the IP network. The destination regenerates the clock, decrypts/strips the IP header and
delivers a synchronous bit stream. Furthermore, an adaptive clock is provided for clock transfer
across the network. The adaptive clock regenerates the far end T1/E1 receive clock out of the
incoming arrival frame rate. Frames arriving from the IP network are stored in a buffer and taken
out for TDM stream assembly.

Abstract: An acousto-optical filter having a wide tuning range and a
method of making the same. An acoustic transducer is
provided for generating an acoustic pressure wave of a
selected frequency that is propagated longitudinally along
an optical fiber member. The pressure wave generates a
plurality of alternating localized compressions and
rarefactions in the optical fiber such that a grating
(i.e., periodic changes in the fiber's refractive index) is
created therein. The grating reflects optical signals of a
particular wavelength depending upon its period or pitch
(i.e., Bragg resonance wavelength). The acoustic pressure
wave's frequency is modulated by controlling the acoustic
transducer such that a variable grating pitch is obtained,
thereby causing a corresponding change in the Bragg
resonance wavelength of the grating. In response, a
reflected optical signal selected from incoming multiplexed
optical signals tunes to a different wavelength. A closed-loop
controller is provided for controlling input signals
to the acoustic transducer/actuator so as to modulate the
tuning of the reflected optical signals.
